Trump 2016, Like Trump University, Is A Scam

The white working class, who Trump calls "the poorly educated." That is supposed to be the core crowd for Trump. Really?

Trump is a different kind of candidate. Really? I see same old same old.

The strategy is to rob in broad daylight. The strategy is to light the racial fire under poor white bottoms and get them to vote against their own economic self interests.

Elizabeth Warren said it right. When your house is on fire, don't call the arsonist. Trump is the one who started your fire.

Like Father Like Son

Donald Trump Jr. just made a seriously anti-semitic remark, something about gas chambers.

I am going to think it is something to do with his last name. Like father like son. That is not a good upbringing. Or, from the Donald Trump perspective, that is a very good upbringing.

Alt Right


Milo

They’re angry about globalization—culturally even more than economically. They’re angry about political correctness guilting them about insensitivity to women, minorities, gays, transgender people, the disabled, the sick—the everyone-but-them. They’re angry about feminism. They don’t like immigrants. They don’t like military intervention. They aren’t into free trade. They don’t like international groups such as the European Union, United Nations, or NATO—even the International Olympic Committee. They admire the bravado of authoritarians, especially Vladimir Putin. Some are white supremacists. Most enjoy a good conspiracy theory.

Garrison Keillor On Trump


Garrison Keillor On Donald Trump

Your eyes look dead and your scowl does not suggest American greatness so much as American indigestion. 

Rudy and Christie and Newt are reassuring in that stilted way of hospital visitors. 

And The New York Times treats you like the village idiot. 

Running for president is your last bid for the respect of Manhattan. If you were to win election, they couldn't ridicule you anymore. They could be horrified, but there is nothing ridiculous about being Leader of the Free World. 

Profanity is your natural language and vulgar words so as not to offend the Christers but the fans can still hear it and that's something they love about you. You are their guy. You are losing and so are they but they love you for it.

What the fans don't know is that it's not much fun being a billionaire. You own a lot of big houses and you wander around in them, followed by a waiter, a bartender, a masseuse, three housekeepers, and a concierge, and they probably gossip about you behind your back. Just like nine-tenths of your campaign staff. You're losing and they know it and they're telling mean stories about you to everybody and his brother.

The Kids


Trump Debacle Shows Why Kids Should Not Run The Campaign

In Trump’s case, over-reliance on his kids is a reflection of both his narcissism and deep insecurity (which, I suppose, is at the root of the former). He believes he knows it all. Professionals are “stupid” and “incompetent.” (Some are, but he cannot distinguish between the stupid and the smart, the incompetent and the expert.) He has not the patience nor the capacity to learn policy or master the fine points of political strategy; he therefore is loath to interact with professionals who’d figure out that he, in essence, is a fraud woefully uninformed about anything beyond his own business.

Talk Of Lost Emails

George W Bush White House "Lost" 22 Million Emails

Most troubling, researchers found a suspicious pattern in the White House email system blackouts, including periods when there were no emails available from the office of Vice President Dick Cheney. “That the vice president’s office, widely characterized as the most powerful vice president in history, should have no archived emails in its accounts for scores of days—especially days when there was discussion of whether to invade Iraq—beggared the imagination
